POLISH big scratches out of your glasses

When your glasses get scratched up so bad, it’s hard to see especially at night. I find that this antiglare coating starts to deteriorate and makes the glass is even harder to see out of. Most of the scratches are on the outside of the lens. By giving a little pressure to the lens you can pop the lenses out and start to sand this coding off as well as removing the big scratches.

I start off with 1200 grit sandpaper. I wouldn’t go any course or than this the sandpaper will remove the scratches and the coding. Toothpaste has very fine abrasions and it and will start to remove the haze that the sandpaper leaves on the surface. Then I like to take some 3000 grit sandpaper dry and remove the small little scratches. After that a good quality automotive polish wax will take the rest of the haze off. If this is your first time doing this I would recommend using an old pair of glasses to learn these processes. I wouldn’t use the pair of glasses that you depend upon. Hope you found the video useful

[@adams.555]

The moment you said 1200 sand paper I decided to stay for the rest of this joke

[@MaximilianBocek]

I just tried this on an old pair of glasses. At 2500 grit, the lens was a blur. I worked up to 8000 grit, and I could see through the lens at least, but clear? No. The 8000 grit was clearer than polishing with toothpaste, though. 8 THOUSAND grit could not compare with what a lens polisher does, sad to say.

[@simon4043]

The key is to use car polish. Even better is Silvo silver polish. Then the lens will be back to clear again.

[@davegrenier1160]

I'm 67. I've been wearing glasses since i was 6. Been wearing polycarbonate lenses for a long time, due to my prescription which makes glass weigh too much. Both of my last two pairs of glasses yellowed and their coatings started to deteriorate within two years. My optometrist tells me it's because I don't know how to care for my lenses. That's crap, because I have also owned thousands of dollars of camera lenses, telescopes, and microscopes for decades, and not only do I not have problems with them, I never had these problems with any earlier glasses. This is a patient who calls BS. The problem is that the materials aren't of the quality they once were. Even during my active years (outdoors, climbing) with much greater UV exposure, I never had lenses yellow on me, no matter how long I wore them. And I never even noticed deterioration of the optical coatings because they were apparently tougher just a decade ago.

[@Optiman5000]

@@davegrenier1160 Polycarbonate usually doesn’t yellow over time but Trivex and CR39 Plastic will. I’ve been in the business a long time and agree that some companies materials are just not good. While others hold up better. The comment was really geared towards the treatment of this particular pair of glasses. As far as comparison of camera lenses, you don’t wear your camera on your face for the same amount of hours as your glasses. I think a better modern comparison is our cell phones. Some people’s phones last a long time and other get beat to hell by the owner. Doesn’t make it the phones fault.

[@billybobjoe198]

To anybody reading this, do not sand your glasses lenses. If your glasses have a bunch of tiny scratches that makes it hard to see at night and really steps on color clarity, all you need to do is buy some rubbing compound, and a microfiber towel. Pop the lenses out and work the compound in by hand. It'll minimally change the strength of the lenses, and it'll make them clear right up.

[@efrainromero865]

Yea. I was thinking about that. My glasses are scratched like a 10 year old car always left out in the open washed every other week.

[@_Forever555]

I used to work in a optical lab.. just wanted to say a few things. Firstly you most likely changed your prescription by doing that. Our brains are capable of making corrections to what we see so you may not notice it but after a while you’ll start getting headaches because the brain is being overworked compensating for the incorrect prescription. With that being said, try using maybe a chemical thinner to remove the coating if you really want to do this. That’s what we do but we use a super abrasive acid. I don’t recommend people play with that. Maybe something like Apple cider vinegar (which is much safer) in a jar for a day or two may do the job, just guessing. I might try that one of these days myself. Next the way you remove the lenses will potentially damage the frames and possibly the lens. Use a ribbon and insert it at the corners where the metal frame ends and then pull the ribbon to stretch the nylon (and lens) out of the frames. Use the same process to put the lenses back in. If your able to strip the lenses with some kind of acidic substance then you won’t need to polish the lenses as they already are good to go. Just be careful what you use because that will be near your eyes. And make sure to wash it thoroughly with liquid dish soap like dawn to get it super clean. 👍🏾

[@jesperhagstrom]

In short; don't do what he's doing! In this case you should dissolve and remove the antiglare coating with a product called Armour Etch. Doing so usually makes the lenses look brand new. As long as the lenses are plastic, DO NOT use Armour Etch on glass lenses... On some glasses it seems like this method won't work at first but just keep applying it and they usually clear out. If the (plastic) lens has micro scratches and no coating you can use a product called Pollywatch and a cotton round to rub away all scratches, this will also make the lenses look brand new. If the scratch is deep enough to be felt with your fingernail you unfortunately won't get it out. Avoid any abrasive as far as possible! But if you really need to I'd suggest 5000 grit or higher and then Pollywatch. Keep in mind that any sanding will totally alter the prescription. On one pair I had to do Armour Etch first and then Pollywatch to get the lenses clear again. Be careful removing the lenses if they are pressfitted, this can easily break the lens or frame, this will even happen to opticians with brand new stuff sometimes. If you can remove the lenses safely, do so. Avoid getting Armour Etch on your frames (or yourself). Taking care of your glasses like this will save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. You're welcome! /Jesper

Used Mcguires on cheap sunglasses too, just to bring back a little life to them. Also my glasses were crooked all the time (uneven ears). I finally did something about it. Took the glasses apart. Put a coffee cup with water in the microwave for 3 mins and placed one arm in it for 1 to 1 1/2 mins. Then with cold water running in the sink I shaped the arms to adjust the fit. Used the cold water right away to set them. Glasses fit perfect now. It does discolor them somewhat, but you can polish that out a little too. Funny how seeing yourself on Zoom will motivate you.

Hi. Great video, but that is "wet and dry" paper not "sand paper". It is used with water and acts as a polishing tool. It can be dampened and then you just add a little more water over time - 1200 grit sandpaper would scratch it even though it helps smooth out timber.

[@mikeshapeningservice]

Wet and dry paper is sandpaper that can be used with or without water. Both are abrasive and will scratch anything softer than what the papar is made of (aluminum oxide, silicone carbide, diamond, etc...) The grit determines the depth of scratches or rather how much material it removes.
